Endangered Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney chose to mingle with reporters and media executives over attending an annual grassroots event last weekend during a rare appearance in her home state.
(snip)
“I’m not going to convince the crazies and I reject the crazies,” Cheney told the Times Saturday while she gathered with reporters instead of grassroots supporters 230 miles away. “I reject the notion that somehow we don’t have to abide by the rule of law. And the people right now who are in the leadership of our state party, I’m not trying to get their support because they’ve abandoned the Constitution.”

The commercials write themselves.
I can't believe she's really running for re-election. I just can't.
Calling your constituents crazy seems like an unusual strategy to close a sale.
She was only elected, because conservatives who defended her father against media attacks voted for her.
Lizzie… you’re a REPRESENTATIVE.
Those constituents are your BOSS.
If you don’t want that job then RESIGN
I’ve been trying to expose Liz Cheney and her conman lawyer husband for a decade. They are the SWAMP!!! He’s been in the middle of all the mess from bad money missing from his job at the justice dept. in his position as the General Counsel for the DHS to being Monsanto’s head lawyer. Also nefarious dealings when Perry was general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), another powerful Bush/Cheney appointment.

LIZ CHENEY. Take a good look...this is the face of GOP elitism!
https://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2013/07/liz-cheney-take-good-lookthis-is-face.html
[snip]The men in Liz’s life.........
PHILIP PERRY.....WHO??
That is Mrs. Philip Perry. Liz Cheney is the mother of his five children, who had been accused of corruption and cronyism and said a few years ago, “The term ‘revolving door’ implies people going in and out of government in order to obtain monetary gain. The reason people go into government is to serve their country. It’s not appropriate to describe that as a ‘revolving door.’”
.....right......
Phil Perry is the poster boy for K street/whitehouse cronyism and revolvingdoorism!
In 2007, TheTownCrier wrote several articles detailing some of the questionable ‘work’ Perry headed at the Justice Dept. One is titled, “Exposing the Dept. of Job Security (who is Philip Perry?)”.
In his position as the General Counsel for the DHS, appointed by his friend Michael Chertoff, Perry supervised over 1,500 lawyers, and advised Secretary Chertoff, who had been a close associate at their lobbying/lawyer firm and the White House on the Department’s legal and policy issues. Issues of influence for Perry included, but were not limited to, “the transit of people and cargo, comprehensive immigration reform, and critical infrastructure such as chemical plants.”
BUSH/McCain/Kennedy COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM! AMNESTY! HELLO!
‘Transit of people and cargo’....NO ONE in the Bush DOJ EVER did anything to enforce those laws!
“Perry’s questionable behavior extends far beyond nepotism and delaying investigations. He’s also a pro at jumping back and forth between government and the private sector, doing what he can to benefit industry along the way. After Bush became president, Perry moved from being a junior partner at the DC law firm Latham & Watkins to holding the position of Associate-Attorney General for the Department of Justice. He then moved to the Office of Management and Budget as General Counsel, where he had a hand in drafting plans for DHS. In 2003, he returned to Latham & Watkins as a member of their Homeland Security practice group and lobbied on behalf of Lockheed Martin and other companies.”
One article on Mr. Perry you should read is, ‘Dick Cheney’s Dangerous Son-in-Law, Philip Perry and the politics of chemical security’ by Art Levine.
It details nefarious dealings when Perry was general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), another powerful Bush/Cheney appointment.
The point here is that the OMB is supposed to be impartial, a ‘guide’ to the administration, not to make policy decisions at the VP’s behest! When you’re running an administration that isn’t corrupt you don’t appoint a relative as a watchdog! HELLO!
[snip](A colleague, Michael Chertoff, would later head the Department of Homeland Security.) In 2000, when Cheney became George W. Bush’s running mate, Perry found himself in the inner circle of advisers surrounding his father-in-law. Friends describe him as intellectually brilliant and extremely discreet. Fittingly, in the vice president’s debate-prep sessions, Perry played the role of moderator. The Republican political consultant Mary Matalin, who worked with him in the mock debates, described Perry to Legal Times as “very, very, very strategic.”
When the election of 2000 was resolved, Perry took on the title of “policy coordinator” for the Bush-Cheney presidential transition. By early 2001, he had been appointed as the acting associate attorney general at the Department of Justice, the department’s third-ranking official. It was a dramatic promotion.
While Perry mostly stayed out of the news, the summer brought some unwelcome attention. The Department of Justice, it was reported, would stop pursuing a breakup of Microsoft. Since Perry oversaw the antitrust division, and Cheney had previously met with Microsoft’s CEO, some critics smelled a fix.[snip]
In January 2007, during the uproar over the imprisonment of Ramos and Compean, two border agents and the false statements made by the Justice Dept., Perry announced his intention to step down as general counsel of the Department of Homeland Security and was rumored to be returning to Latham & Watkins. Elizabeth Cheney, Perry’s wife, had given birth to the couple’s fifth child in July 2006.
We will likely never know how deeply Perry was buried in the pathetic prosecution and imprisonment of these two border agents for doing their jobs. We do know of other problems he handled for DHS that point directly to him.

I sure hope all them ‘crazies’ vote in November.
However, there's nothing Lizard can do to win her primary. Not a single person who voted for Trump in 2020 is going to vote for her in the primary.
What she is doing now is auditioning for a place at the MSM Sunday round table as the token "republican."
Perhaps she already knows the fix is in and all the necessary votes / ballots have been purchased / printed for her victory.
The democrats (with consent of the RINO’s) flooded the presidential election with millions of phantom mail-in ballots, and she is OK with that.
In her mind, that is perfectly constitutional, but we are the crazy ones for objecting to it.
Nine more months, nine more months and your world is coming to an end bitch.
You want her out there stating her case. Let the primary voters deal with her. I’m confident they will. If she pulls a Lisa Murkowski(2010) the only alternative is to vote for the democrat in November. Unlike one in a hundred senators we can afford to lose one house seat to prove a point. We’ll then get it back in 2 years. This is done from the ground up. How many strong republicans out there are gonna take on Thune? No groundswell in SD.
The natives are so revolting...
;-)
This is about 2024 for her. She’s busy trying to get the support from the Never Trumper Faction so she’ll be their sole candidate.
Don’t take this lightly.
I remember when ole Arlen Specter got primaried in his own state. He got pissed and ranted off on his former constituents calling them similar names because they didn’t appreciate “all his years in office” and that he would run as an Independent. We all know what happened to him in his run as an Independent.
Anyone who loves Arbitrary government and FDR’s legacy complaining that others have abandoned to Constitution….
I’m not trying to get their support because they’ve abandoned the Constitution.”
BTW, the article mentions Liz as “endangered.” I prefer to think of her as “soon-to-be-extinct” as a House Representative.
“Ms. Cheney hasn’t appeared at a state Republican Party function in more than two years and hasn’t been to an in-person event for any of the party’s 23 county chapters since 2020,” the Times published.
Wyoming voters to Cheney: “See you next Tuesday!”
